Vinha Boutique Hotel

A Perfect Mini-Moon Getaway – Vinha Boutique Hotel Exceeded All Expectations We’ve just returned from a four-night stay at Vinha Boutique Hotel for our mini-moon, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The hotel itself is stunning – beautifully designed with a luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere. Every detail felt thoughtful and refined. But what truly set our stay apart was the outstanding quality of the food and the genuinely warm, attentive service from the staff. Each meal was a highlight, with fresh ingredients, creative presentation, and flawless execution. Whether it was breakfast, dinner, or a casual bite in between, we were consistently impressed. The culinary team clearly takes pride in their work, and it shows. Just as memorable were the staff – friendly, professional, and always ready to go the extra mile to make us feel special. It made the whole experience feel deeply personal and welcoming. Vinha Boutique Hotel gave us exactly the kind of peaceful, indulgent escape we were hoping for. We’re already dreaming of our next visit. Highly recommended – especially for couples looking for something truly special.

We recently stayed at this hotel and were genuinely impressed by its charm. The rooms were spacious and beautifully maintained, the gardens were lush and peaceful, and the views were absolutely stunning. Dining was a highlight—delicious food served in lovely surroundings.||However, a few details fell short of the five-star standard. Some of the sunbeds were quite worn, and the decking in places was loose and noisy, which detracted from the otherwise tranquil setting. The air-conditioning in our room wasn’t working properly, making it a bit too warm for comfort.||Service varied—some staff were outstanding and went above and beyond, while others, though polite, lacked attentiveness. We often had to get up and request drinks, which isn’t ideal for a luxury experience.||Despite these minor issues, we had a fantastic time. With just a few improvements, this hotel could easily deliver a flawless five-star experience.|

This is an absolutely immaculate, tastefully designed and completely comfortable hotel. My wife and I loved it. Excellent location on the river in beautiful grounds - far better than staying in the town itself. Really friendly and efficient service, and super comfy beds. This is genuinely special hotel that I will be booking again should I return to Porto (which I also loved). Wonderful breakfast - top class omelette that I heartily recommend. We had a deluxe room which was lovely, and more than big enough. I can't think of a better place to stay in Porto. |In order to be perfect please provide more hangers in the bedroom (we only had 3 to start with), and provide more free water in the rooms. |Other than that I would rate this hotel an easy 9 out of 10 - it's a great place despite what looks like some spurious reviews from other travellers. |Very highly recommended.

We stayed 3 nights at the hotel for some chill out, having stayed more centrally for the previous 4 days to explore Porto. |The hotel is beautifully curated, a feast for your eyes, even much nicer than the pictures. There is a lovely signature vanilla scent throughout. |The hotel has a fantastic riverside setting with beautiful views from everywhere set in lovely gardens. |We spent most of our time relaxing by the pool watching boat activity on the river! One afternoon we used the courtesy water taxi to Porto and walked the 4km back along the river. The water taxi goes one way 4 times a day between 12-5. The taxi operator is so friendly and professional. |All the staff at the hotel were all superb and completely focused on providing an excellent and friendly service. |We opted to eat at the hotel every night, at the Terrace restaurant which was so chilled… lovely background playlist , scent of jasmine wafting, delicious food and a varied menu. |Our bedroom just oozed luxury, a beautiful wall to wall window looking towards the river with a lovely balcony to relax on, mood lighting, automated curtains, a well designed bathroom with high end toiletries, a comfy bed and the softest fluffy carpet. |The large spa area is a very chilled experience too though needs booked when the hotel is busy. Unfortunately some folk insisted on using their mobile phones on speaker to make calls and watch videos, which is rather inconsiderate to others. |I’d never really thought of Porto as a chill out destination … but Hotel Vinha has made me reconsider!

Near perfect for a stay in Porto, hotel has a private boat to drop you in the centre, or we used an uber which was about €4.5e to the Luiz Bridge.||Hotel was stunning, ultra modern, great service, view out over river. Outside pool was magic in sunshine and easy access / lots of parking for our Ferrari. Great to be relatively close to the centre but away from the hustle and bustle.||We had a small problem with room a/c during our stay, staff were extremely apologetic and as hotel was busy they upgraded us to a suite. Which was stunning.||Huge choice at breakfast, all staff super friendly. Bar serves a lovely Port & tonico

Excellent hotel, view, quality of the rooms and most important, incredible service. All people is so proactive, helpful, and really set for giving the best service. I have been spending my wedding preparation in that hotel and we spent the wedding night there.. and I can not be so thankful, they made our weekend so smooth. PRICE QUALITY IS 5 STAR!

This hotel is a real great experience. Excellent staff, remarkable spa, breakfast ion the terrace with a view. The room is spacious and niceky decorated, bed perfect and evening turndown service (not to forget the sweets!).|The balcony offers a lovely view on the river. |Pool - great! |OK the building dates back to 70s but the interior designers did an excellent job and also the old villa part and gardens are nice.

I recently stayed at this hotel and, overall, the experience was wonderful. The rooms are clean and well-appointed, the grounds are stunning, and the pool area is beautiful and relaxing. The environment itself truly feels luxurious and serene.||However, there’s one aspect of my stay that left such a bad taste that I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending this hotel to others. While lounging at the pool with my sister, a staff member came by twice to ask if we needed anything. On the second visit, we asked for water—nothing fancy, just the standard boxed water they provide for free in the gym and in the hotel room mini-fridge. He brought us four of those over the course of our time at the pool. We assumed, naturally, that this water would also be complimentary.||It wasn’t. We were charged 4 euros per water—for the exact same water that’s freely available elsewhere in the hotel. It is the smallest box/quantity of water too… (8 oz or 250ml) And only at the end were we informed of this, when I was asked to sign a bill I hadn’t been told was accruing. To make matters worse, the server asked for a tip.||When I raised this with management, they simply said there was nothing they could do because it was considered a “poolside service.” To me, that’s not a service—it’s a hidden charge. Charging guests for basic water, especially when it’s provided free in other parts of the hotel, feels like a deceptive practice.||It’s a shame because the hotel itself is lovely, but that one experience overshadowed what could’ve been a glowing review. Transparency and consistency matter—and in this case, both were lacking.
